The two men, a New Orleans software developer, Max Gaudin, and entrepreneur Travis Laurendine intended a comical way to stop the public urination problem during Mardi Gras by having private bathrooms rented out to the public. The new service usually comes with a fee of $1, but sometimes much more, according to the airpnp website. A writer for the Brooklyn, David Colon, deli scribed a bathroom that was $10 in a "Crown Heights Mansion," with an option to also use the shower. With many Airpnp bathrooms around the world, Europe exceeds in numbers. Belgium has 128 Airpnp availabilities. Utah currently has no Airpnp options. The closest Airpnp toilet is Los Angeles, California, with only one current option at "Fadlon Family Residents Lavatory: perfect for a simple crap! Take a 15 minute poop or pee for $6." An Airpnp toilet in central London advertises, "Warm, comfortable restroom with magazines: our toilet comes with a endless loo roll, a big window in case it's a big one, and you'll even have reading material whilst you're doing your business." The price is 12 pounds, about $20 USD. Business owners are also taking the initiative. According to nola.com , The Pontchartrain Hotel on St. Charles Avenue makes one of the most spirited sales pitches: "Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Frank Sinatra, and Walt Disney have all peed here. You can do the same." "It's basically free money for them," Chris Jorgensen, a student at Utah Valley University, said. "Next step is renting out luxury rooms." Jorgensen has doubts on whether he would rent out his toilet or not, like the fears of another student, Joel Williams, it's the post-mess visit they're worried about. "I don't want to clean up after them," Williams said. "Even if it's not much or anything different. I wouldn't want someone to deuce or puke or bang one out." With the app just beginning, whether this will be a problem or not remains uncertain, but according to the Airpnp terms of agreement disclaimer: If you choose to use the Website and participate in providing a restroom to any user, or if you are a user who uses a provider's restroom, both providers and users do so at their sole risk. After hearing about the app Joseph Graham, from Provo Utah, had the opposite reaction. "I think it's amazing." Graham said. "But a mess is definitely a possibility, especially ever since my roommate put in the wrong toilet seat." Graham isn't bothered by what mess might happen. He plans to use it, and start renting out his toilet. POSTED BY: @CHRISWALL88 I guess @classyphansen and I were on the naughty list.
